Description of problem: 4.3.3. Burning discs with Brasero, is the last section of the manual in the section : Burning ISO images to disc 4.3. Burning discs under Linux Surely there should be a tutorial for using the console to burn Fedora images too? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 13 How reproducible: It doesn't exist. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Burning_ISO_images_to_disc/sect-Burning_ISO_images_to_disc-Burning-Linux.html 2. 3. Actual results: No tutorial for burning a Fedora iso using the console. Expected results: 1a. Install wodim. 1b. If using Fedora install wodim like this : su -c "yum -y install wodim" 2. Insert a clean blank disc into the drive. 3. Use : cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info To obtain the drive name of the recorder. 4. Use similar to : wodim -v dev=/dev/xxx speed=4 -eject Fedora.iso (Where /dev/xxx is the device name obtained using cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info previously. Additional info: I'm sure someone could clean those instructions up a little bit.
I added this to the docs goals for Fedora 14. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_guide_goals_for_F14#Burning_ISO_images_to_disc

Sorry, I failed to get this done over the last release. I will reengage it for F15.
Instructions for this have been pushed to git repo. https://fedorahosted.org/readme-burning-isos/browser/en-US/Burning.xml Reads as follows: wodim is a command line tool that makes burning iso files to disc easy. These instructions will help you to burn a dics when a Graphical User Interface is not avaliable. 1. Install wodim with the command su -c 'yum install wodim' 2. Locate your cdrom drives location with wodim --devices. This should give something like the following: [zoglesby@zlaptop ~]$ wodim --devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 dev='/dev/scd0' rwrw-- : 'TSSTcorp' 'DVD+-RW TS-T633C' ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Using the output from above identify your drive location. In this example it would be /dev/scd0, and issue the following command to burn the cd. wodim -v dev=/dev/xxx speed=4 -eject /path/to/Fedora.iso. <note>Replace values Be sure to replace the dev=/dev/xxx with your drive path, and /path/to/Fedora.iso to the actual path and name of the ISO file</note> I used wodim --devices because it gives provides a better output for users to understand what devices they can use.
Removing myself for these bug components as I'm either no longer involved in that aspect of the project, or no longer care to watch this particular bug. Sorry if you are caught in a maelstrom of bug changes as a result!
I'm closing this bug as part of a Bugzilla cleanup effort. The most likely reason is that the bug has been opened either against a component we no longer publish, or against Release Notes for an EOL release.
